All language subtitles for The Night Shift S04E03 Do No Harm-eng

The plaque was a great idea.

Always Topher's command
post, looking out...

You know, I figured it was

a good way to keep his memory going.

Yeah, new people or patients ask,

"What's this 'Topher's Corner'?"
And we can say, "Let me tell you

a little something about Topher."

Been a month,
and I still sometimes forget he's gone.

It's like I think I
see him, but I don't.

Yeah. I don't think that
goes away for a while.

No.

Whoa! Whoa! Hey, hey, hey.

Come on, that'lleave a stain there.

Watch where you're putting that.

Not on Topher's Corner.
Are you kidding me? Relax.

I wasn't putting it on there.

I wouldn't do that to Topher.
Back off, Kenny.

Well, I wouldn't put it past you.
You are a slob.

You should see her crusty
dishes in the sink, man.

- It's ridiculous.
- Me?

Yeah, you.

Would a courtesy flush
kill younow and then?

'Cause it's killing me.

No, no, no. We're not doing this, okay?

Leave your roommate wars at home,
both of you.

What would Topher say if he saw
you fighting like this? Hmm?

"You gonna finish those chips?"

Yeah, that and, "Yo,
I-I have kids at home."

"I don't need to hear this garbage here.

Get back to work."

Exactly. So get back to work.

Curtain 1.

Mr. Apone, I'm Dr. Rivera.

I'll be handling your V.A. appointment.

Annie? I thought you were in rehab.

Hi, Shannon. It's nice to see you, too.

Can you get Scott, please?

Sorry we didn't get here sooner,

but the winds grounded the chopper.

What do we got?

Oil field workers switching out
a wellhead sparked an explosion.

Hey, Sara.

54-year-old with complete
left hand amputation status

- post tourniquet.
- Okay. Any other injuries?

No trauma other than a facial lac,

but he did develop abdominal pain

and vomited after 10 of morphine.

Said he never had opiates before.

- Vitals?
- Tachy in the 120s, BP's stable.

All right. Hang another liter.
We'll see you at the hospital.

This way.

Do you do these a lot? Yeah. When they
can't move the patient, they call us.

- He's up there. Name's Travis.
- Wow. This is a new one.

There you go, Doc.

Travis, my name is Dr. Alexander.

This is Dr. Diaz.

We're gonna get down from here.
How's that sound?

It sounds good.

And you brought him here? To me?

I know this is upsetting,
but this is the V.A. now.

He didn't have a choice.

He's been waiting months
to see a cardiac surgeon.

Look, can we just... Come on.

Look, I don't want to be here.

I know everyone still sees me
as a narcotics-stealing addict.

But you have to believe I came
because this is important.

Being back in rehab has
been really hard for Alan.

And I want to support him.
But I'm here for both of you.

Prep Trauma 1. Critical
patient in-house.

I know it isn't easy, but just see him.

You don't have to talk about
your past. Just be his doctor.

I can't. I'm sorry.

I can't be the lead on this,
but he will still get

his five-star treatment, I promise you.

- Scott...
- Paul, you're up.

Uh, right. I will...

- get an echo on Alan Apone. Got it.
- Thank you.

Lee Harris.
Increased pain in the wrist and abdomen.

Bumpy ride in the oil field.

Mr. Harris, I'm Dr.
Clemmens with surgery.

This here is Dr. Alister.

- All right, he's going to Trauma 1.
- Okay. We got it from here.

- Oh, goal!
- Whoo!

Yeah!

Ooh. Who's Janet?

International booty call?

Sorry. Sorry.

Yeah, it's your friend Topher's wife.

No, widow.

He made me executor of his will.

I always figured he'd be
executor of mine first.

I know he did, too.

Does she need you to come back?

No. She's not ready to see me yet.

Still too hard for her.

What about when you see her?

It's time to go, ladies.
Ready when you are.

Still... not a lady.

I'll keep that in mind, Princess.

Beautiful day for immunizations,
don't you think?

I don't know about you, but I'm not here

for vitamins and vaccines.

We don't have supplies for that.

I might've slipped some into the Humvee.

Just 'cause people tell you what to do

doesn't mean you gotta do it.

Wow. Okay.

Let's do it. Yeah.

All right, Captain, where we at?

We shut off and
stabilized the pump jack.

We're ready to cut him down,
but we're afraid...

That the counterbalance will
slip and he'll bleed out.

I think we can pull him off there.

There's two of us. We can handle it.

- No. No, it's too dangerous.
- No, I don't think so.

Hey, I'm calling the shots here.

They're gonna cut him down,
we're gonna stabilize him,

and then they're gonna
remove the post in the OR.

- Okay. Well, at least let me do it.
- Please.

All right, you're the boss.

All right, Travis, I
need you to stay calm.

- What are they doing?
- They're going to cut you off.

- With this thing still in me?
- We have to leave it in there

because it's stopping the bleeding.

Hey! Slowly.

If that lurches, they're both dead.

He's gonna cut right there?!

Hey, hey, Travis, look at me.

I'm gonna be with you the whole time.
All right?

I've got you.

I'm just gonna cover you for safety.

Good?

Here, give me your hand.

Aah!

Shukran.

He says, "Thank you."

Yeah. I got that.

You know, you don't have to babysit me.
I was a Ranger.

That impress the nurses back home?

Why don't you go get your secret Intel?
I'm good here.

Yeah, I'm sure you are.

Help, Doctors!

I'm Dr. Callahan.

Hey. What's going on?

It's his stomach. He's been puking.

Uh, help him. Please.

He's severely dehydrated.

Has this ever happened before?

Not like this.

He has a surgical abdomen,

possible malrotation with the volvus.

You wanna say that in English?

Yeah, his intestine is twisted
and his bowel is dying.

He needs surgery.

T.C., a minute.

Let's make him comfortable.
Get him some fluids...

No, no, no, no. We need to open him up.

- He needs to go to the OR now.
- On the base? That's impossible.

I want to help him. I do.

But even if we could transport him,

they'll never let him onto the base.

Because if they do,
they'll have thousands

at the gate the next day.

I'm not gonna let an 8-year-old boy die

who could easily be saved.
Nothing is easy here.

The Army lets us help these
people because it helps them.

We screw that up, they shut us off.

It's happened to me before.

And then hundreds die, not just one.
That's the deal.

It's your deal. It's not mine.

Okay, I got him. Here we go.

- Synced and corrected by martythecrazy -
- www.addic7ed.com -

Dilaudid going in for pain.

Be right back with the antibiotics.

And we're gonna need x-rays
for his hand and arm.

On it.

Sir, you feeling a little bit better?

- A little bit, yeah.
- All right, good.

I gotta know.
What's gonna happen with my hand?

- Am I gonna lose it?
- Well, we don't know yet.

I'm gonna take a good look at it now.

So how'd this happen?

Blast exploded the wellhead.
I ducked and covered,

and a chunk came right at me and...

Well, I guess you know the rest.

Sounds like you did the right thing.

You don't work oil fields 17
years without some scares.

Never thought it'd take my hand, though.

- How's your abdominal pain?
- Better, actually.

You must've gave me some good drugs.

Radiology's ready for you.

Hey. Kenny's gonna take
you for some x-rays.

Let me know if that
abdominal pain returns.

I'm gonna need you to prepare him.

The state of that arm...

I don't think we're gonna
be able to save his hand.

Great. His job's hard
enough to do with two hands.

How's he going to do it with one?

Maybe the tests will
tell a different story,

but I wouldn't count on it.

- How you doing, Travis?
- It hurts.

Morphine will help with that.

You took a hell of a
chance out there tonight.

That pump jack slips,
you could have been caught.

I try not to think about it.

Maybe you should before
you go up there again.

So it's okay for you to go out there,
but not for me?

Yes, because I'm... more expendable.

Wow. You don't have a God
complex like the rest of us?

I used to, but my old life
in México beat it out of me.

It's pretty rough down there, huh?

I was referring to my ex-wife.

Anyway, his BP is a little lower
'cause of the morphine.

I'm gonna hang a liter,
if that's okay with you, Boss?

What about Scott?
I thought my appointment was with him.

Scott got pulled onto another case.

Dr. Cummings and I
will take it from here.

But I'll talk to him later, right?

I-I think it'd be really good

- if I talked to him about...
- You know what? We'll see.

Right now let's just focus
on getting you better.

- Okay?
- Okay.

I understand you have a history

of bicuspid aortic regurgitation,

and you've been having chest pains.

Yes, on and off. No pain now.

Okay. Well, we'll do a
cardiac workup with an echo

to check your valve,

and then we can discuss
treatment options

based on your results.

Will the discussion be with Scott?

Um...
well, we'll have to see who's available.

I need to make my amends.
Am I not going to?

Let's talk about it later.

Look, it's my fault
he relapsed last year.

Alan, stop.

I was his sponsor...

Alan!

Look, I was messed up myself.

He hit that kid, and I told him
it was okay to take a drink.

I-I-I need to apologize.

We need a minute.

Yeah. Uh, we will be right outside.

- I need to talk to him.
- You can't talk to him.

So much for Anonymous.

Man,
that was more than I ever needed to know

about my boss' personal life.

Yeah.

Hey, uh, do... do you think I
should ask Scott to talk to him?

Alan seems really upset,
and I don't really

want him to go into
surgery with unresolved...

None of that 12-step crap

is gonna make him any more
or less ready for surgery.

Right. I mean,
studies have shown that if you, uh...

I'm not talking about studies, Paul.

I'm talking about personal experience,

which you don't have, so leave it alone.

Well, I've treated
plenty of addicts before.

But you've never been one.

Believe me, the last thing anyone needs

is a naive 27-year-old
giving them life advice.

I'm sorry, I know you're trying to help.
But it won't.

Okay. Um...

Yeah, better get back to it then.

Hey, look.

Look, all I'm saying is that
Paul had to wait for two months

before they let him in the field.

Cain's already out there with Jordan.

- It's been, what, a few weeks?
- Yeah, well, Paul was an intern,

and Cain was an attending
at an ER in Mexico.

I bet you wish you knew
that before you hazed him.

Look, he was a nurse working under me.

Okay? And I didn't haze him.

I told him to stop acting like a doctor.

- Which he was.
- Which I didn't know.

Look, all I'm saying is that the guy...

Look, he just started,

and he already thinks he runs the place.

So you better start kissing his ass

before you are out of a job.

I ain't kissing his ass.

Hassan needs the OR.
The OR is on the base.

- All we need is a ride.
- I already said no.

- Let me talk to your CO.
- As far as you're concerned,

I'm your final say on transport.

So you're just gonna let him die?

I'm sorry, Doc. It's outta my control.

I'm just gonna get one of the
villagers to give us a ride.

- No, you will not.
- You... Hey. Hey.

It's a security risk.
You need to let this go,

Callahan, because it's not gonna happen.

She says her son needs your help.

I know what she said.

Okay, he's dying, and it's all on you.

Doctors... my son...

So you were saying you
never switched to a day job.

No, sir.

Didn't have a choice.

Didn't want to lose my job.

Already messed things
up with my ex-wife.

Don't wanna be a deadbeat dad, too.

It's hard to imagine a deadbeat dad

working 17 years of night shifts.

Mm. You got kids?

Uh, one.

So you know. Do whatever
it takes, right?

Hey, Drew?

- You got a minute?
- Yeah.

Hey... wait, wait,
wait. Is this about me?

Just don't be whispering in the corner.
I can take it.

Okay.

Lee, I'm sorry to say

that with your arm in its current state,

it's not a viable option for
us to reattach your hand.

So that's it?

It's gone?

- But...
- No hand?

- Well...
- Won't be able to work,

put on my damn pants,
play catch with my kid.

- Well...
- Y'all can't take my hand.

- I need my hand.
- Listen, listen.

There is one possible option,
but it is a real Hail Mary.

Please. What... whatever it
takes to save it, I'll do it.

I'll sign it.

Okay. We can try and attach your hand

to your leg while the arm heals.

Wait. What?

Ohh.

It's an innovative approach.

How it works is,
the healthy blood vessels in your leg

keep your hand alive
while your arm heals.

And once we restore normal
blood flow to your arm,

we reconnect your hand.

It's out there, but it has worked.

So my hand will be on my leg?

Yeah.

For a while.

It might be your only
option of saving your hand.

If it works.

Look, I can explain a lot more to you

on our way up to the OR,
but we'd have to do surgery

right away while your
hand is still viable.

Do it. Do it, man. I'm
all in for a chance.

Okay.

My... my stomach.

Hey...

Hey.

His abdomen is diffusely tender.
Let's get him straight to C.T.

Drew, we gotta get this
abdominal issue resolved now.

If he's not cleared for
surgery in the next hour...

He loses any chance of keeping his hand.
I'm on it.

We got you.

Are you okay?

- You guys okay?
- Yeah. You?

I'm all right. I blew a tire.
I gotta call in another rig.

Hey, what's the ETA?

15 to 20.

He's never gonna make it.
He's got a cardiac tamponade.

Okay, we do this now. You ready, Boss?

- Yeah. Okay.
- On you.

All right. On three.

One, two, three.

I'll intubate. You can open him up.

Here.

Your tests came back negative
for coronary artery disease,

but you have a large aortic aneurysm

that's causing your chest pain.

What does that mean?

We need to operate immediately.

We're gonna admit you to the hospital

and get you optimized for surgery.

Who's doing the surgery?

Dr. Gordon, the day shift surgeon.

He's on his way right now.

You've got the best
cardiothoracic surgeon

in the county in Scott,

and you're bringing in Dr. Garden?

Uh, D-Dr. Gordon, actually.

Yeah, that is not happening.

Hey, bud. How's he doing?

He's about to lose his hand.
How do you think he's doing?

Sorry, man. I was just
checking in on you.

Sorry. I'm frustrated.

I can't figure it out.

He's got stomach pains one minute,
he's got none the next.

I've eliminated a ton of things,

but I still can't find
out what's causing it.

Scott's waiting on
the C.T. and the labs.

Maybe he can figure it out.

How long before Lee's
hand is no longer viable?

35 minutes.

This guy...
there but by the Grace of God go I.

What do you mean?

He's like everybody I grew up with.

He's hard-working, he's blue collar,

busts his ass trying to provide.

And he finds himself on the
verge of 40 with nothing.

Only reason I have anything
is because I got lucky.

Come on. I wouldn't
call what you have luck.

I'd call it the residue of hard work.

You think he doesn't work as hard as me?

I just happened to be in the
right place at the right time.

I joined the Army,
someone saw my potential,

then they helped me become a doctor.

Here I am. My cousins? My friends?

Their jobs are all gone,
and they're not coming back.

Yeah, it can be a cold world.

I'm definitely a thankful man.

But I have faith you're
gonna figure this out.

And if I don't,
he doesn't just lose his hand.

He loses everything.

Heard about the accident.
Are you sure you're okay?

Yeah, we're fine, but I don't
know if Travis is gonna make it.

- What happened?
- Cardiac laceration.

Cain did a thoracotomy
and a stapled him up,

but Travis needs an OR
now. Where is Scott?

He's tied up with his patient.

- I called in the back-up team.
- Okay. Thank you.

Thanks, Dr. Alexander.
We got it from here. Okay.

Holy crap. We just did that.

Yeah. Yeah, we did, Boss.

Okay, his BP's coming back.

Mama.

He needs an OR. We...

We really have to get him to the base.

All we can do is make him comfortable.

You're not in Texas anymore.

We don't get happy endings here.

We're in a war zone.

Thanks. I hadn't noticed that.

Don't get their hopes up when
you can't control the outcome.

First rule of doctoring.

Yeah, I thought the
first rule of doctoring

is "Do no harm."

Well, you are doing harm.
You just can't see it.

I've been here. I can.

Or maybe you've stopped trying.

I've stopped trying?

You've been here, what, a month?

And you'll probably be
gone in another month.

I've been here three years
and I'm never leaving.

So don't tell me I've stopped trying.

I just meant... No, that you're
an American who has choices.

These people don't, and neither do I.

I broke the rules once.

They kicked me out for six months.

I had to beg on my hands
and knees to be let back in.

You don't...
Do you know how many people were lost

that I could have saved?

You don't think that still weighs on me?

So do I have to sacrifice one to
save a hundred sometimes? Yes.

I don't want to sacrifice any.

Well, then you're in the wrong place.

Look, I think it's great you're here,

actually making a difference.

But if you're gonna be here,

you have to follow the rules
or you'll ruin it for everyone.

That kid still good to travel?

- No, he's in no condition.
- Yeah. he's good.

He's been cleared for transport.
We're taking him back to base.

- What? How?
- Hey.

Learn to take a win. Okay? Let's go.

Are you kidding me with this?

Dr. Gordon has just as much
experience doing these as I do.

It's a standard procedure.

And yet,
if this were anybody else besides Alan,

you'd be doing the surgery.

He needs you.

Yeah, and where was
he when I needed him?

Look, I know what he's here to do,
and I don't want to hear it.

Okay? He was my sponsor, Annie.

My sponsor. And he brought me a drink.

And you took it.

I'm sorry, Scott. I know this
brings up all kinds of issues,

but you have to take responsibility.

Please don't quote program to me.

Maybe you need to have
the program quoted to you.

Look, if you don't wanna do the surgery

because it cuts too close to home,
then fine.

But you have to at least talk to him.

- No, I don't.
- He's scared to death, Scott.

That can't be good for his surgery.

He wants to make amends. Let him.

You can't keep punishing
him for one mistake.

That mistake cost me my sobriety.

And he wants to apologize.

Malik gave you another chance.

You can't give one to Alan?

Code blue. ICU room 4.

That's Alan. Come on!

- What happened?
- The aneurysm ruptured.

24 at the lip. Usual settings.

- I don't understand.
- He's gonna be okay.

I'm taking him up to the OR right now

to repair the aneurysm.

Paul, you jump in with Drew. I got this.

So you're going to do the surgery?

It's the only chance he's got now.

Paul, tell the OR we're on our way.

We're on the move.

Hey, uh, so Scott tagged out.

He's in the OR with an aneurysm rupture.

But Kenny filled me in.
Any news on Lee's results?

Not a lot. C.T.'s negative.
Hemoglobin's a 9.

I'm sending a repeat and type and cross.

But I'm running out of time.

Abdominal pain, memory loss, vomiting.

Yep.

Son of a bitch. That's it.

- What is it?
- It's lead poisoning.

Lead poisoning?

Yeah, look at the...
look at the lead lines on his bones.

I've never seen that before. Nice catch.

Can you handle the
chelation therapy in the OR?

- We got about 15 minutes.
- Yeah, definitely.

- I'll tell the microsurgeon to scrub in.
- Perfect.

Annie.

Hey.

I heard you were here.

Look, whatever you wanna say to me,
I've already heard tonight.

I'm sorry I stole the pills a month ago.

I know you all trusted me.
I jeopardized your job...

Hey. Hey.

I wasn't even gonna go there.

Might as well. Everybody else has.

I'm sorry to hear that.

I'm sorry.

So, um...

Shannon says that Scott
is operating on Alan.

You know him?

Uh, well, no, but he's mentioned him.

I mean, he always tried to
keep his recovery separate.

- Easier said than done.
- Yeah.

So how was Scott?

Not happy about me bringing Alan here.
He made that clear.

What was I supposed to do?

You're the V.A. now. Alan's a vet.

You did the right thing. You did.

Yeah, it's just complicated.

My middle name.

Apparently, it's mine, too.

So, um...

if you have a minute,

I would really like to
talk to you about T.C.

Ah, the light stuff.

Yeah, I talked to him yesterday.

Really?

Uh, should we go get a coffee?

Yeah. We might need it.

So we'll start treating you
for lead toxicity in the OR.

That won't mess with saving my hand?

No, not at all.

We should talk about how you
got exposed in the first place.

Uh, working with batteries,
hanging out in car shops.

- Any of that sound right?
- No.

What about lead paint?

It's usually kids eating paint chips.

You haven't been doing that, have you?

- I think I'd remember that.
- Right.

Hey, Lee, I'd like you to meet
Dr. Dominguez, our specialist.

You are gonna attach my hand to my leg?

With the help of Dr. Cummings here, yes.

Y'all think I can get some water first?

The stuff at work sucks.

Uh, we actually... we can't give
you water before surgery. Sorry.

Back that up, Lee.

What do you mean, the water
at work sucks? Sucks how?

You know, like really nasty egg water.

We try to avoid it, really,

but at the end of a shift,
you take whatever's wet.

Right. Um, how long
has it been like that?

I don't know. Since
I've been there. Years.

Mr. Harris, I'd like to
discuss the procedure with you

- before we go upstairs.
- All right.

If the water at the
workplace is contaminated...

We gotta test every
worker in the oil field

for lead poisoning.
Lee might not be the only one.

Hey. Why are we stopping?
We gotta get him there.

Not until the Colonel
vets the mom on the Intel.

She's lying, we turn this
circus around and head back.

What, we just let him die?

Getting his hopes up is not my problem.
That's on you.

- Colonel's ready!
- Bring her in!

Here. Let me help.

Okay.

Did she tell you what she has?

That's above my pay grade.

"Mongo just pawn in game of life."

"Blazing Saddles"?

It's a movie.
Used to watch it with my grandparents.

Oh. Oh, he's seizing.

Must be the hypoglycemia.

Are you sure this is going to work?

It's all we've got.
Just... just slam it.

There's not much time.
We've gotta get him to an OR now!

Come on!

I think T.C.'s doing what he
needs to do to process the loss.

You know, as long as he's in Syria,

Topher's death doesn't seem
as real to him, you know?

Yeah.

I agree.

You know, it's just so
dangerous over there,

and it's getting worse every day.

And you know T.C. He sees danger,
he goes right toward it.

I don't wanna lose him, too.

I know that feeling.

Hell, I lived it.

But at some point, you gotta let it go.

That worry... I mean,
it's not gonna do them any good, or you.

Whatever happens will happen.

You can't control it from
10,000 miles or 10 feet.

So when we can let
ourselves off the hook...

it feels like peace.

You sound like you're
in a really good place.

I am.

I really am.

I finally think, fingers crossed,

I've figured out the answer.

Yeah.

Look...

I made these apologies before...

- Annie, you don't have to.
- No, I-I do.

You don't have to apologize.

No, I really do, because this time,
it's real and honest.

I hated you because T.C. loved you.

Wh... What are you...

Because I was in love with T.C.

Don't get me wrong. I loved Thad,

but I was...

in love with T.C.

I knew nothing would ever come of it,

but I held out hope for a while.

And then he met you.

And that was it. He was done for.

So I blamed you for all my problems

instead of the booze and
the pills I was taking.

I'm sorry to hit you with
all this right now. I just...

I don't feel like I've ever
really been honest with you.

I need to finally set things right.

I don't know what to say.

You don't have to say anything.

Just...

just know how sorry I
am for hurting you...

and for hurting T.C. with all my crap.

I just was in so much pain,
I-I didn't realize

that you were the best
friend I ever could have had.

I'm sorry.

No, Annie, I wasn't
always the best, either.

And I-I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

Hey, Lee. How you feeling?

Little light-headed.

Did you do it?

We did it.

We believe you'll make a full recovery

and be able to return to work.

Can I see it?

Um, yes. Yes, you can.

But remember, it's temporary, okay?

It's only gonna look like
this for a few months.

Then we're gonna have to put it
back where actually it belongs.

On my ass.

Sure.

Seriously, man, thank you.

Thank you so much.

You saved my life. You
saved my livelihood.

Of course,
now I'm-a have to take two jobs now

to pay for this, I guess.

Uh, I don't think you
have to worry about that.

I think your company is gonna be
paying for it for a long time.

Ready to take a look?

Yeah. Serve her up.

Here we go.

Oh...

Now, that is a conversation starter,
ain't it?

It is that. Yeah.

- Ready to see your family?
- Yeah.

- Thank you, boys.
- Absolutely, man.

Hell of a job, Drew. You never quit.

Hey, neither did you.
Or neither did Lee.

It's the way it should be, right?

Yeah.

All right, Mollie, let us know
if Travis needs anything, okay?

You got it. I'll call when he wakes up.

- Keep us posted.
- Yeah.

Hey, that your patient
from the oil field?

- How's he doing?
- Better.

His, uh, family's on the way in now.

You should check his lead level.

We think the water at his
work was contaminated.

Company was using an unregulated well.

Son of a bitch. Flint
right here in Texas.

Those lead lines?

Yeah. Found them on his coworker.

All right, we'll get Travis tested.
Cain, do you want to add on...

Add lead levels to his blood work.
You got it, Boss.

We got OSHA and the
Texas Board of Health

tracking down everybody
who ever worked there.

Everyone who came in contact
with the water is coming here.

What about the press?

I mean, these people need to be exposed.

They need to be punished.

Court of public opinion.
I like the way this guy thinks.

I'm on it.

So I was replaying the rescue
out in the field, and...

your way might have been the right way.

Might have, but might
have been wrong, too.

- It all worked out.
- So when you ran your ER,

how did you deal with being the one

who always had to make
the tough decisions?

Ah, with great power comes
great responsibility.

Did you just quote me Spider-Man
as your leadership mantra?

Actually, I think Lord Melbourne
said a version of that first.

Hmm. But I do believe in the sentiment.

All right, I'll get his labs tested.

See you later, Boss.

Stop calling me "Boss."

Okay, Boss.

We need to get him inside.
He's spiking a fever.

Come on. Come on. What's the holdup?

They're good!

Okay, Doc. Lucky day.
Mama must've had something real.

T.C., what did you do?

What did you tell her to say?

Let's go!

I can't believe you told the
mother to give false Intel.

So what? It worked, didn't it?

You're playing with fire.
You're just too pigheaded to see it.

Or to care.

It's not a malrotation.

Yeah, I can see that.

Something else must be
obstructing his bowel.

No hernia. No intussusception.

Roundworms.

Ascaris. Very common here.

But I'm sure you already knew that.

You're the expert on all things Syria.

I'm just trying to help a kid.

We'll have to treat his family,

maybe the village with anthelmintics.

It won't be enough.

Do you know how many of
these cases I've seen?

It's so frustrating.

It's always one step forward,
two steps back.

It never ends.

And these families
don't have clean water.

And without infrastructure
and education...

So in your mind,
we shouldn't have saved him?

Please. You're insufferable.

Are you like this with everybody?

No wonder they kicked you out of Texas.

Hey, I'm just not wired to give up.

And neither is anybody else here.

But I don't know,
maybe we've gotten too used

to following the rules,
used to being told what to do,

because we can't do
our jobs without them.

So maybe we could use a
good dose of T.C. Callahan.

Mm. That sounded dirty.

Glad you caught on.

Whenever you're ready.

I'll be here.

So he'll need to be
here for a week or so,

but he should make a full recovery.

I'm so glad to hear that.

Thank you for stepping in.
I know that wasn't easy.

No. It was fine, really.

I made him being here a bigger
deal than it needed to be.

I should have let him make
amends when he wanted to.

It means a lot to Alan.

It's why you brought him in, isn't it?

No, I brought him in because
he needed the best surgeon.

But I came here because...

I wanted to see you.

I'm glad you did.

I know you've been holding on to me

because you're worried if you let me go,
I'll break.

That's not true. Just let me finish.

I'm not gonna break.

In fact, I might even
be stronger on my own.

I've always used people as a crutch,

from Thad to T.C...

to you.

I need to find out what
it's like going solo.

But you don't have to be alone.

I want to.

We watched this movie in rehab.

"Wild."

Have you seen it?

Um... the hiking one?

It's about so much more than that.

- Well...
- But yeah.

Um, Reese Witherspoon goes on
this solo hike on the PCT...

Yeah.

And finds peace there.

- I think I need that.
- Mm-hmm.

Are you sure?

I mean, it... it sounds
pretty... extreme.

My bags are already packed.

You're my last goodbye.

Well...

So are we...

Breaking up.

But still friends.

I mean, honestly, it's what's
the best for both of us, right?

We're like the textbook
of recovery mistakes...

I hooked up with the ex of
the woman I couldn't stand,

while you start dating the sister-in-law

of the guy you couldn't stand?

They might not ever let
us into a meeting again.

Well, I know it sounds
like that on paper,

but I really care about you.

I know you do. And
you're an amazing man.

And I really care about you.

But this girl's gotta hit the trail.

Well, we only just started testing,

but almost all of them
are coming up positive

for lead poisoning.

The company knew the whole time.

I'd like to pin those company's
executives to the ground

and pour 50 gallons down their throats.

Guess it wouldn't be
the wisest thing to do.

No, it would not.
But don't think for a second

- that I haven't thought of it either.
- Mm.

So how'd Cain do out there?

Seems like he's fitting in,
minus the whole Kenny vendetta.

Yeah. I'm gonna have to work on that.

But, you know, as far as being a doctor,
he's damn good.

We are lucky to have him.

Topher would have definitely approved.

Good.

Uh, but most of all,

I think he would've approved
of the job you're doing.

You're our new leader,
and we're behind you,

and you should know that.

Thank you.

Come here. Hey.

Now, if you screw up, out you go.

You're gone.

Thanks, man. That's a hell of a speech.

- Mm, call me Braveheart.
- Yeah.

Oh, hey, is... is this breakfast, or...

God, no.

Oh. Wow.

Shannon, you ever hear the story
about Paul's first day here?

Don't spoil it for me.
I'm waiting for the movie.

So Paul was showing off
his juggling skills, right?

But what he didn't know
was that the things

he was juggling came
straight from the butt box.

Okay, this is relevant how?

That's... that's the first
day you met Topher, right?

And then, you...
you reached out and shook his hand.

You... you should've seen Topher's face.

He ran to the bathroom
as fast as he could

and scrubbed his hands like a surgeon.

He wouldn't shake my hand
for a month after that.

Oh, man.

Anyways, I'll see you guys at home.
Uh, it's clean-up day.

Clean-up day?

Yeah! Toilets!

It's my... it's my place.

If I want it clean, we're gonna clean.

Shukran.

Ask her what she told them.

What was it?

The truth.

- What does that mean?
- I don't know.

This is what I was warning you about.

You can't control anything here.

So whatever Rasha told them,
we better hope it was real Intel,

because if she set up an ambush

or if she's acting on some old vendetta,
that's on you.

Later, ladies!

What's that you were saying earlier?
First do no harm?
